Quick Answer

A developmental reading program is for students who are having trouble with reading at an age-appropriate level and who need assistance with comprehending what they read, recognizing words and reading fluently. These programs are available for elementary and secondary school students as well as those who need reading intervention before attending college. Learning to improve the student's writing is another skill commonly taught in a developmental reading program.
